About the Tests
- In 2007-2008 Louisiana used the integrated Louisiana Educational Assessment Program (iLEAP) to assess students in grades 3, 5, 6, 7 and 9 in math and English language arts and in grades 3, 5, 6 and 7 in science and social studies.
- The iLEAP is a standards-based test, which means it measures specific skills defined for each grade by the state of Louisiana.
